For the purposes of interpreting this Chapter, certain terms
are defined as follows:
A grant by the property owner of the use, for a specific
purpose or purposes, of a strip of land by the general public, utility
companies or private individuals.
A parcel of land occupied or intended for occupancy by a
building together with its accessory buildings, including open space

sites, community or public building sites and other lands.
The Portageville Planning and Zoning Commission.
A way for vehicular traffic, whether designated as an avenue,
boulevard, road, highway, expressway, land alley or other way, and
for the purpose of this Chapter, streets are divided into the following
categories:
Major streets and highways are those which are used primarily
for fast or heavy through traffic.
Collector streets are those which provide for traffic movement
between major streets and highways and local streets including principal
entrance streets of residential developments and streets for circulation
within such developments.
Local streets are those used primarily to provide direct access
to individual lots and for local traffic movements.
Alleys are passage ways affording generally secondary means
of vehicular access to abutting properties and not intended for general
traffic circulation.
Culs-de-sac are neighborhood streets with only one (1) outlet,
sometimes called dead-end streets, having a vehicular turnaround at
the terminated end.
The division of a parcel of land into two (2) or more lots
or other divisions of land; it includes resubdivision and, when appropriate
to the context, relates to the process of subdividing or to the land
or territory subdivided.
[R.O. 2012 § 410.020; CC 1981 § 405.020; Ord. No. 801 Art. IV, 8-13-1979]
A.
Platting Authority. The Planning and Zoning Commission shall be the
official platting authority and no plat of land subdivision lying
within the municipality shall be filed or recorded by the appropriate
County Recorder unless the plat has been endorsed by the Planning
and Zoning Commission. The filing or recording of a plat of a subdivision
without the approval of the Planning and Zoning Commission as required
by this Chapter is declared to be an ordinance violation, punishable
by law.
B.
Use Of Unapproved Plat In Sale Of Land — Penalty — Vacation
Or Injunction Of Transfer. No owner, or agent of the owner, of any
land located within the platting jurisdiction of the City, knowingly
or with intent to defraud, may transfer, sell, agree to sell, or negotiate
to sell that land by reference to or by other use of a plat of any
purported subdivision of the land before the plat has been approved
by the Board or Planning and Zoning Commission and recorded in the
office of the County Recorder unless the owner or agent shall disclose
in writing that such plat has not been approved by the Board or Planning
and Zoning Commission and the sale is contingent upon the approval
of such plat by the Board or Planning and Zoning Commission. Any person
violating the provisions of this Subsection shall forfeit and pay
to the City a penalty not to exceed three hundred dollars ($300.00)
for each lot transferred or sold or agreed or negotiated to be sold;
and the description by metes and bounds in the instrument of transfer
or other document used in the process of selling or transferring shall
not exempt the transaction from this penalty. The City may enjoin
or vacate the transfer or sale or agreement by legal action, and may
recover the penalty in such action.
C.
Opening And Improving Public Streets. The Governing Body of the City
shall not accept, lay out, open, improve, grade, pave or light any
street or lay any utility lines in any street, which had not attained
the status of a public street prior to the effective date of this
Chapter, unless such street corresponds to the street location shown
on an approved subdivision plat or on an official street map adopted
by the Planning and Zoning Commission. The Governing Body may accept,
lay out, open and improve any street not so platted after review and
comment by the Planning and Zoning Commission on such action.
D.
Erection Of Buildings. No building permit shall be issued and no
building shall be erected on any lot in the City unless the street
giving access thereto has been accepted as a public street in accordance
with this Chapter or unless such street has been accepted as a public
street prior to the effective date of this Chapter.
[R.O. 2012 § 410.030; CC 1981 § 405.030; Ord. No. 801 Art. V, 8-13-1979]
A.
Whenever a subdivision of a tract of land within the City of Portageville
is proposed, the subdivider is urged to consult early and informally
with the Secretary or a designated member of the Planning and Zoning
Commission. The subdivider may submit comprehensive plans and data
showing existing conditions within the site and in its vicinity and
the proposed layout and development of the subdivision. No fee shall
be charged for the pre-application review and no formal application
shall be required.
B.
Note:
1.
The purpose of the pre-application review is to afford the subdivider
an opportunity to avail himself/herself of the advice and assistance
of the Planning and Zoning Commission in order to facilitate the subsequent
preparation and approval of plans.
At this stage, the subdivider should also consult with any lending
institution that will be participating in the financing of his/her
proposed development and with the Federal Housing Administration of
the housing and home finance agency that may be insuring mortgages
on houses that may be built in this land subdivision.
2.
The various plat review required by this Chapter may properly
be made by the Secretary or a designated member of the Planning and
Zoning Commission. It would be wasteful of time for the entire membership
to review a proposed land subdivision, except in cases of conflict
or unusual and difficult problems. Approval or disapproval in every
case must be by action of the Commission. This note applies only to
reviews.
[R.O. 2012 § 410.040; CC 1981 § 405.040; Ord. No. 801 Art. VI, 8-13-1979]
A.
Following the pre-application review the proposed subdivider shall
submit to the Chairman of the Planning and Zoning Commission, at least
fifteen (15) days prior to the next regular meeting of the Planning
and Zoning Commission, the following:
1.
A letter requesting review and approval of a preliminary plat
and giving the name and address of a person to whom the notice of
the hearing by the Planning and Zoning Commission on the preliminary
plat shall be sent;
2.
Five (5) copies of the preliminary plat and other documents, as specified in Section 410.050; and
3.
A preliminary plat filing fee of twenty-five dollars ($25.00)
per lot. NOTE: Five (5) copies of the preliminary plat and other documents
are suggested to provide a review and record copy for:
B.
Review Of A Preliminary Plat. The Planning and Zoning Commission
shall check the plat for conformance to the rules and regulations
of this Chapter and shall afford a hearing on the preliminary plat,
notice of the time and place of which shall be sent by the Secretary
of the Planning and Zoning Commission by registered or certified mail
to the person designated in the letter requesting preliminary plat
review and approval, not less than five (5) days prior to the date
of the hearing.
1.
Thereafter, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall give tentative
approval or disapproval to the preliminary plat. A notation of the
action shall be made on two (2) copies of the preliminary plat, including
a statement of the reasons for disapproval if the preliminary plat
is disapproved. One (1) copy shall be returned to the subdivider or
his/her agent and one (1) copy added to the records of the Planning
and Zoning Commission.
2.
Tentative approval of a preliminary plat does not constitute
approval of a final plat. It indicates only approval of the layout
as a guide to the preparation of the final plat. Tentative approval
shall expire and be null and void after a period of one (1) year unless
an extension of time is applied for by the subdivider or his/her representative
and approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
3.
If action on a preliminary plat is not taken by the Planning
and Zoning Commission within sixty (60) days of the date of submittal,
the preliminary plat shall be considered approved and a certificate
of approval shall be issued on demand. However, the applicant for
approval may waive this requirement and consent to an extension of
time.
[R.O. 2012 § 410.050; CC 1981 § 405.050; Ord. No. 801 Art. VII, 8-13-1979]
A.
Scale. The preliminary plat shall be clearly and legibly drawn at
a scale not smaller than one hundred (100) feet to one (1) inch.
B.

with an index map on a separate sheet of the same size.
C.
Ground Elevations. The preliminary plat shall show ground elevations
based on the datum plane of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey or
a datum plane approved by the City Engineer as follows:
D.
Information To Be Provided On Preliminary Plat. The preliminary plat
shall contain the following information:
1.

a proposed subdivision has been given tentative approval by the Planning
and Zoning Commission, the subdivider may, within one (1) year from
tentative approval, submit to the Planning and Zoning Commission:
1.
A letter requesting review and approval of a final plat, giving
the name and address of the person to whom the notice of the hearing
by the Planning and Zoning Commission on the final plat shall be sent;
2.
Five (5) copies of the final plat and other documents, as specified in Section 410.070, plus the original which shall be drawn in permanent ink on permanent reproducible material, equal to the standards required by the appropriate County Recorder; and
3.
A final plat filing fee of ten dollars ($10.00) and a recording

of the Chairman of the Planning and Zoning Commission).
B.
Review Of Final Plat.
1.
The Planning and Zoning Commission shall check the final plat
for conformance with the tentatively approved preliminary plat and
with the rules and regulations of this Chapter and shall afford a
hearing on the final plat, notice of the time and place of which shall
be sent by the Secretary of the Planning and Zoning Commission by
registered or certified mail to the person designated in the letter
requesting final review and approval, not less than five (5) days
prior to the date of the hearing.
2.
Thereafter, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall approve
or disapprove the final plat. A notation of the action of the Planning
and Zoning Commission shall be made on the original drawing and all
copies of the final plat, including a statement of the reasons for
disapproval if the final plat is disapproved. If action on a final
plat is not taken by the Planning and Zoning Commission within sixty
(60) days of the date of submittal, the final plat shall be considered
approved and a certificate of approval shall be issued on demand.
However, the applicant for approval may waive this requirement and
consent to an extension of time.
C.
Recording Of Final Plat. Upon approval of a final plat, the Chairman of the Planning and Zoning Commission shall have the final plat recorded by the County Recorder at the County Court. The subdivider shall be responsible for the payment of the recording fee at the time of submitting the final plat as provided in Subsection (A) hereof.
[R.O. 2012 § 410.070; CC 1981 § 405.070; Ord. No. 801 Art. IX, 8-13-1979]

1.
The City Engineer or other responsible official shall certify
that the streets, drainage, utilities and other improvements indicated
on the plat have been completed to proper specifications and per design

A.
Suitability Of Land. Land subject to flooding, improper drainage,
erosion or that is, for topographical or other reasons, unsuitable
for residential use shall not be platted for residential use nor for
any other use that will increase the danger of health, safety or property
destruction, unless the hazards can be and are corrected.
B.
Name Of Subdivision. The name of the subdivision must have the approval
of the Planning and Zoning Commission. The name shall not duplicate
or closely approximate the name of an existing subdivision.
C.
Access. Access to every subdivision shall be provided over a public
street.
D.
Conformance To Adopted Major Thoroughfare And Other Plans.
1.
All streets and other features of the major thoroughfare plan
of the City of Portageville, Missouri, shall be platted by the subdivider
in the location and to the dimensions indicated on the major thoroughfare
plan adopted by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
a.
When features of other plans adopted by the Planning and Zoning
Commission (such as schools or other public building sites, parks
or other land for public uses) are located in whole or in part in
a land subdivision, such features shall be either dedicated or reserved
by the subdivider for acquisition within a reasonable time by the
appropriate public agency.
b.
Whenever a plat proposes the dedication of land to public uses
that the Planning and Zoning Commission finds not required or suitable
for such public use, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall refuse
to approve the plat and shall notify the Governing Body of the reasons
for such action.
2.
NOTE: One of the primary purposes and advantages of planning
for the dedication and reservation of property for public use is to
indicate areas which may be presently acquired at acreage prices rather
than at greatly increased prices in the future and where future improvements
would increase the expense to the taxpayer and create inconvenience
for the individual property owner and for the neighborhood.
3.
Where the public use to be made of the property and where the
residents of the subdivision will receive primary benefit, the dedication
of the property should be encouraged. Where the public use is for
the public as a whole, the community should pay proportionately for
the acquisition of reserved areas within a reasonable time. A reasonable
time is to be determined according to the circumstances because the
subdivider should not be required to hold his/her land idle for an
indefinite period far into the future.
E.
Large-Scale Developments. The requirements of this Chapter may be
modified in the case of large-scale community or neighborhood units,
such as a housing project or shopping center which is not subdivided
into customary lots, blocks and streets, if the development is approved
by the Planning and Zoning Commission and if it is in conformity with
the purpose and intent of this Chapter.
F.
First Floor Elevations. Minimum first floor elevations will be established
by the Planning and Zoning Commission in all new subdivisions based
on a base elevation established for that particular subdivision in
order to insure that living areas are free from floodwater damage.
Establishment of the base elevation is the responsibility of the subdivider.
This base elevation must be established by a certified land surveyor
or registered engineer.
[R.O. 2012 § 410.090; CC 1981 § 405.090; Ord. No. 801 Art. XI, 8-13-1979]
A.
Continuation Of Existing Streets. Existing streets shall be continued
at the same or greater width, but in no case less than the required
width.
B.
Street Names. Street names shall require the approval of the Planning
and Zoning Commission. Streets that are obviously in alignment with
streets already existing and named shall be given the name of the
existing street. Names of new streets shall not duplicate or closely
approximate those of existing streets.
C.
Street Jogs. Street jogs with center line offsets of less than one
hundred twenty-five (125) feet shall not be permitted.
D.
Culs-De-Sac. Except where topographic or other conditions make a
greater length unavoidable, culs-de-sac or dead-end streets shall
not be greater in length than five hundred (500) feet. They shall
be provided at the closed end with a turnaround having a property
line radius of at least fifty (50) feet with an outside pavement radius
of at least forty (40) feet.
E.
Alleys. Alleys may be required at the rear of all lots used for multifamily,
commercial or industrial developments but shall not be provided in
one- and two-family residential developments unless the subdivider
provides evidence satisfactory to the Planning and Zoning Commission
of the need for alleys.
F.
Basements. Basements having a minimum width of ten (10) feet shall
be provided along each side of rear lot lines and shall be provided,
as required, for utility lines and underground mains and cables.
G.
Where a subdivision is traversed by a watercourse, drainageway, channel
or stream, there shall be provided a stormwater or drainage right-of-way
of adequate width. Parallel streets may be required by the Planning
and Zoning Commission in connection therewith. Fencing, placing in
a conduit, tiling or other means of cover or protection may be required
by the Planning and Zoning Commission in connection with such drainageways.
[R.O. 2012 § 410.100; CC 1981 § 405.100; Ord. No. 801 Art. XII, 8-13-1979; Ord. No. 999 § 3(A
— C), 12-2-1996; Ord. No. 1002 § 3(A), 1-6-1997]
A.
Street Right-Of-Way Widths. The right-of-way width shall be the distance
across a street from property line to property line. Minimum street
right-of-way widths shall be as follows:
B.
Street Pavement Widths.
2.
Note. The pavement widths are measured from curb to curb. These
widths are considered the minimum necessary to accommodate modern
traffic. Street parking must, of course, be considered in the pavement
widths. Where no street parking is permitted or none is anticipated,
allowances may be made. A parallel parking land normally requires
eight (8) feet. Only on secondary streets a moving traffic lane should
have a minimum of ten (10) feet. On neighborhood streets where the
abutting property has adequate off-street parking and traffic moves
slower, provision for one (1) lane of parking and two (2) nine-foot
traffic lanes may be adequate. (Pavement widths for major streets
are normally a responsibility of the Governing Body.)
C.
Street And Alley Grades — Construction.
1.
Maximum and minimum street grades shall be twelve percent (12%)
and five-tenths percent (0.5%) respectively.
2.
All streets shall be graded and graveled with a minimum of four
(4) inches of base aggregate and further must be consistent with specifications
in Section 1007 of the Missouri Standard Specifications for Highway
Construction. A minimum of three (3) inches of asphalt will be required,
consistent with the specifications in Section 403 of the Missouri
Standards.
3.
Alleys are required to be graded and graveled with a minimum
of four (4) inches of gravel or chat.
4.
If concrete is used instead of asphalt in street construction,
said concrete must meet or exceed the specifications used for asphalt.
5.
Note: These street grade maximums are considered to be the median
requirements and provide adequate safety. Different topographical
situations may necessitate adjustment. The minimum grade requirement
is necessary for drainage purposes. In this regard, it should be considered
that in addition to accommodating traffic, streets are the heart of
the surface drainage system.
D.
Horizontal Curvature. The minimum radii of center line curvature
shall be one hundred fifty (150) feet.
E.
Tangents. Between reverse curves, there shall be a tangent having
a length not less than one hundred (100) feet.
F.
Street Intersections. Street intersections shall be at right angles
when possible. No street intersections shall be at an angle of less
than sixty degrees (60°), unless required by unusual circumstances.
G.
Curb Line Radius. The curb line radius at street intersections shall
be at least fifteen (15) feet. Where the angle of street intersection
is less than ninety degrees (90°), a longer radius may be required.
H.
Street Lighting. There shall be installed elevated one hundred fifty
(150) watt high pressure sodium flood lighting with long arm brackets
every one hundred (100) feet of any street, with each of said lighting
fixtures to meet the approval of the applicable utility company. Further,
all electrical service to any and all such street lighting fixtures
shall be underground.
[R.O. 2012 § 410.110; CC 1981 § 405.110; Ord. No. 801 Art. XIII, 8-13-1979]
A.
Block Lengths And Widths. Block lengths and widths shall be as follows:
1.
Blocks shall be no greater than one thousand five hundred (1,500)
feet nor less than three hundred (300) feet in length, except in unusual
circumstances; and
2.
Blocks shall be wide enough to provide two (2) tiers of lots
of minimum depth, except where abutting upon major streets or where
other situations make this requirement impracticable.
B.
Lot Sizes. Residential lots shall meet the lot width and no greater
than three (3) times the width of the lot at the building line, unless
unusual circumstances made these limitations not practicable.
1.
Where individual septic tanks are used, the health office shall
prescribe minimum lot sizes to conform to health standards which may
be greater than the standards contained herein.
2.
Commercial and industrial lots shall be adequate to provide
service areas and off-street parking suitable for use intended.
3.
Residential corner lots shall have adequate width to meeting
building setback requirements from both abutting streets.
C.
Lot Lines. All lot lines shall be perpendicular or radial to street
lines, unless not practicable because of topographic or other features.
D.
Building Lines. A building line meeting the front yard setback requirements
of the Zoning Code shall be established on all lots.
E.
Lots Abutting Public Streets. Each lot shall abut upon a dedicated
public street.
F.
Double And Reverse Frontage Lots. Double frontage and reverse frontage
lots should be avoided, except where essential to provide separation
of residential development from traffic arteries or to overcome specific
disadvantages of topography and orientation. A planted screen easement
of at least ten (10) feet, across which there shall be no right of
access, shall be provided along the line of lots abutting such a traffic
artery or other incompatible use.
[R.O. 2012 § 410.120; CC 1981 § 405.120; Ord. No. 801 Art. XIV, 8-13-1979]
A.
Public Utilities And Streets.
1.
Prior to the approval of the final plat, an agreement shall
be reached between the subdivider or his/her agent and the City Government
with regard to the installation of any street improvements or utility
construction called for on the subdivision plat. In certain cases,
where the City Government deems necessary, the subdivider shall be
required to have installed by appropriate City agency at his/her expense
or, with approval of the agency concerned, to install the following
street improvements and utilities:
a.
Streets, including street grading, street paving, and curbs
and gutters;
b.
Sanitary sewer lines and manholes, storm drainage facilities
sidewalks (when determined by the Planning and Zoning Commission to
be essential for the safety of pedestrians) and monuments and markers;
and
c.
Water mains within the subdivision with connections to each
lot.
2.
All required street improvements, utilities and monuments shall
be built to standards specified by the agency responsible for each.
All utilities to be installed in the streets shall be placed and compacted
prior to paving.
3.
If the required sanitary sewer line cannot be connected to a
trunk line sewer at the time of the development of the subdivision,
septic tanks shall be installed by and at the expense of the subdivider
or lot purchaser for interim use in conformity with the requirements
of the New Madrid County Health Department, the local health authority
or the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.
B.
Performance Bond. In lieu of the completion of such work and installations
previous to the final approval of a plat, the Board of Aldermen shall
accept a surety bond providing for and securing the municipality the
actual construction and installation of such improvements and utilities
within a period specified by the Planning and Zoning Commission and
expressed in the bond.
[R.O. 2012 § 410.130; CC 1981 § 405.130; Ord. No. 801 Art. XV, 8-13-1979]
A.
This Chapter may be amended from time to time by the City Government.
However, no amendment shall become effective unless it shall have
been proposed by or shall have first been submitted to the Planning
and Zoning Commission for review and recommendation. The Planning
and Zoning Commission shall have sixty (60) days within which to submit
its report. If the Planning and Zoning Commission fails to submit
a report within the sixty-day period, it shall be deemed to have approved
the proposed amendments.
B.
Before enacting an amendment to this Chapter, the City Government
shall hold a public hearing thereon, at least fifteen (15) days'
notice of the time and place of which shall be published in a newspaper
of general circulation in the City.
